Option 3 : Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner

The correct answer is Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner.

  • Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner is a German chemist.
  • He is well-known for his discovery of furfural.
  • Dobereiner's triads
    • He arranged certain elements with similar properties in a group of three.
    • The atomic mass of the middle element was nearly the same as the average atomic mass of the first and third elements.
    • These sets of elements were known as Dobereiner's triads.

  • Dmitri Mendeleev
    • He was a Russian chemist and inventor.
    • He is best known for formulating the modern-day periodic law and the periodic table of elements.
    • He also predicted the properties of three elements that were to be discovered.
    • He is referred to as the 'Father of the Periodic table'.
  • Hans Christian Oersted
    • He was a Danish physicist and chemist.
    • He discovered that electric currents are creating magnetic fields.
    • He found the first connection between electricity and magnetism.
  • Michael Faraday
    • He was an English scientist.
    • He majorly contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.
    • His discovered the principles of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis.

Option 3 : Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner

Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner made his first observation as a catalyst on Platinum and discovered similar triads of elements which led to the creation of the Periodic Table of Elements.

  • He was a German chemist best known for his work, which foreshadowed the periodic rule for chemical elements, and for inventing the Döbereiner's first lighter.
  • Döbereiner is also known for his discovery of the furfural, for his work on using platinum as a catalyst.
  • Dmitri Mendeleev produces a farsighted interpretation of the periodic element table.
  • Hans Christian Oersted discovered that electric currents produce magnetic fields, which was the first relation between magnetism and electricity.
  • Michael Faraday contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.
